I've noticed that a lot of the articles that are posted on the front page of the TeenInk site either have an Editors Check or have been in the magazine. Don't get me wrong, the articles are probably great, but there are plenty other great ones drifting out here in cyberspace that have bee...

I had no memories. I could imagine places, feelings, and things, but not people, faces, or memories to match them with. I couldn’t remember the tiniest thing about myself. Not even my name. I didn’t know where I was, but I knew it wasn’t right, wasn’t normal.
Desolate wasteland surrou...

Wrapped up in my own world
Full of smiles and laughter,
Rainbows and sparkles.
While the rest go on,
Leading dull lives
With stoic expressions,
I'm content to stay
In my bubble
And believe in magic....

I bare my soul to the world
And watch with downcast eyes
As they circle around it like sharks
As they study it with a critical eye.
They point out the flaws,
Overlook its shining qualities,
And pick it apart
Piece by piece
Until it is full of holes
And shines no more.
They leave me alone...

This diary was all I managed to save before they took over. It was all I could salvage from the wreckage of my home. Not even my family survived it; I barely survived it. As much as it pains me, I will recount what happens, so, if we ever regain the earth, we won’t make the s...

Unsolvable
A rubix cube with seven colors
A maze with all ways blocked
Filled with riddles,
dangers,
traps,
and twisted shadows
Ready to strike without warning.
Will I ever escape its
cold grasp?
Or am I destined
to roam the
windowless passageways
forever
Never to see
the light of
da...

I could see waves gently lap the sandy shoes from the high ledge. the salty air brushed my cheeks and tousled my hair. Everything was at peace. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see a flock of geese fly overhead in that perfect “V.” I began to feel a restlessness bubble inside me. There ...

I hate it. Everything in New York was loud, crowded and dirty. The alleys were ten times worse than the city on all accounts except the last. They weren't crowded at all save two scrawny kids (us), a few rats, and one or two shabby strays. We ourselves could be considered strays- no one to prov...

Music bleeds into my ears and
Travels through my bloodstream
Straight to my heart
No matter how desperate things my seem
My music will pull the world and me apart
No longer can the world discourage my dream
While I listen to this musical, lyrical art
Nothing can keep me
From being who, or
W...

A solemn tree stands alone,
Branches bare.
Except
For a single, brown leaf.
It clings to
Just a thin, snow ridden branch.
Merciless wind blows against the
Nearly dead leaf.
Quite amazing,
Really, how long it has held out.
Under such harsh conditions, it
Viciously hangs by a thread.

Light me a fire
And let it burn
Don't let the flame die
Keep it alive
No need for barrier stones
They'll only break my bones
Just let it get out of control
Don't let the flame die
I need to see cities go down
In red, searing flames
Maybe my smile won't ever frown
If ev...

A cold breeze swept through the streets, causing many of the inhabitants to pull whatever clothes they had on closer to their freezing bodies. Even though the temperature was low, the marketplace was still filled with people selling, buying, and trading whatever they could to stock up for the winte...
